The 6-4, 310-pound defensive tackle from Dooly County (Vienna, Ga.) High School visited Auburn last weekend, solidifying his choice. He picked Auburn over Clemson, Georgia and Alabama.

"Auburn was a team that I already liked. When all the coaches got fired, I kind of (thought I was) not going to go there, but I gave em a second chance, and my second chance, I ended up going there," Adams told ESPNU.

For the Tigers, Adams joins a defensive line class that includes DE Carl Lawson (SN No. 50) and DE Elijah Daniel (No. 68). Both defensive ends are rated 5-star prospects by 247Sports.com.

It’s been a good first signing day for Auburn coach Gus Malzahn. First, he was able to get Daniels to flip from Ole Miss, then also added OL Deon Mix, a 3-star (247Sports) guard who previously was committed to Mississippi State.

The addition of Adams was the latest feather in Malzahn’s cap, and there could possibly be more. Auburn is considered a finalist for 5-star DB Mackensie Alexander out of Immokalee (Fla.) and 4-star RB Johnathan Ford.
